[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 91788, member: 1991"] I think, from the sound of it, a Mountain Gorilla would be a much more preferable playmate. They may be big, but can be very gentle. I think it was good to tell the teacher this last little bit of info about the mother calling - it should have confirmed the teacher's decision to move the girl. A friend of mine had this problem in Grade 2 (she's now Grade 4 at another school). Her mother said to the teacher, "Please keep K away from my daughter, they used to play together but K has begun teasing my daughter and being very mean, my daughter wants to stay away from her so please will you move them?" The teacher not only did NOT move K, she assigned them to work together on a joint project. Naturally this was a disaster, but any problems were blamed on my friend and not K, even when other kids spoke up and said, "K is being mean." My friend's mother complained to the school principal and was told, "We've had no other complaints." Later in the year other parents mentioned that they had just complained to the school principal about both the teacher and K, and the principal had just told them, "We've had no complaints." Because of course, he kept nothing on file so he could say that! So I am VERY glad you had a good outcome. It doesn't always work that way. Marg [/QUOTE]
